Problem 3 From Unit 3 Lesson 2

is the center of the circle, and the length of is 15 centimeters.

A circle with a center A. A diameter line CD measures 15 cm. There are radius lines from A to B, E, and G
  1. Name a segment that is a radius. How long is it?

  2. Name a segment that is a diameter. How long is it?

Problem 4 From Unit 2 Lesson 10

  1. Consider the equation . Find four pairs of and values that make the equation true. Plot the points on the coordinate plane.

    A blank graph numbered 0 to 7 on the x axis and 0 to 14 (in increments of 2) on the y axis
  2. Based on the graph, can this be a proportional relationship? Why or why not?
